CinemaNow is integrating its service capabilities with more devices than any other online video provider to ensure that videos can be easily accessed via PCs, set top boxes, game consoles, and portable media players, all with the ability to connect to TVs. The site is compatible with the latest WiFi media players from ARCHOS, which enable users to wirelessly download CinemaNow videos directly to their media players and stream them to their TVs. CinemaNow is also integrated with Hewlett Packard's (HPQ) upcoming line of MediaSmart LCD TVs, which enable users to rent or purchase CinemaNow movies from their couch. The MediaSmart TV connects to a customer's home network either wired or wirelessly, so that a user can use their remote to purchase or rent a movie from CinemaNow, download the file to a designated hard-drive within their home network, and watch the video directly on their MediaSmart TV..
